Just what we do not think of human life, in time man acquires fresh tools to make his welfare easier. This usually makes it longer, more adequate, or more comfortable.
Even the top malcontents cannot deny these facts. They are obvious, and so we are dealing with alleged truisms. But in light of this reality, for the sake of columnistism, we can ask ourselves a question. In this package of discoveries, improvements and achievements, which of them is the most important? Which of them benefited us most? It can besides be added that, in principle, all these improvements, possibly be in the state of nature. The explorer recognized them, tamed them, and concentrated them. Even if electricity is, it besides naturally exists. Each of us has heard of the unpleasant effects of electrical eels. Without limbs, they dig! And again, possibly the top benefit is electricity? Are there surely those who will point us to the universal meaning of the wheel or to tame the fire? Or even submission to the large power of water?
At this point, we can safely conclude that the question actually raised may not even make much sense, since the answer qualifies them as games and games. However, the above issues – in our opinion – will take on meaning erstwhile we treat them as a provocation to discuss a different substance than that which is being imposed on us here. So the question is, are these blessed discoveries utilizing the planet of substance truly what is essential to our earthly existence? Not at all! Definitely not! What constitutes humanity, its core is not attributed to nature. So neither fire, nor wheel, nor even atom. So what? This human accomplishment can be called the designation of the spiritual world, specifically the acceptance of it beyond the natural character, which was crowned by the adoption of any thought or individual of God. All cultures, both those existing and those already irretrievably past, in fact, can yet be brought to this. We don't truly know the exceptions. And for good, if we consider the existence of a man, his social devices, the question of details, differences, historical time and rituals – there are no major differences.
In fact, these are only causes, generating emotions, yet creating background and alleged second plan. 1 could ask at this point: what will conservatives and traditionalists say? So attached to various aspects of the Catholic rite, or even the Christian corps of knowing these dilemmas? They are. Well, you gotta say right now, they're right. In everyday life, we are immersed, to say the least, into this spicy sauce, which we call our civilisation. And she requires us to have a peculiar faith, to realize dogmatics, Christian practices, etc. However, this does not prevent us from looking beyond the requirements and obligations of our present life.
